Kentucky

Marking the beginning of a new chapter, Second Chance Music, the debut full-length from Kentucky (Jordan Holman) is now available on all streaming platforms. At once intimate and unflinching, the record threads its way through hardship, accountability, longing, and newfound clarity, ultimately landing on a profound sense of grace.

Opening with “No More Tomorrows,” the album immediately sets the tone: a life once nearly lost, now examined with soul-baring honesty and hard-won perspective. Through songs like the pariah’s lament “I Walked In The Night All Alone” and the bittersweet yet buoyant “Same Street (Different Towns),” Kentucky navigates emotional terrain that ranges from aching regret to redemptive hope. There’s spiritual resonance in “Closer to Amazing,” desertlike desperation in “I Have Been Waiting,” and tender reckoning in “Second Hand Love.”

The album closes on the jubilant “The First Day of The Rest of Your Life,” a fitting endnote that looks forward with open-hearted optimism. Together, these eleven songs form what feels less like a traditional debut and more like a confessional rock opera: a deeply personal yet universally resonant hero’s journey rendered in melody.

Second Chance Music isn’t just Kentucky’s story; it’s a mirror held up to anyone who’s ever lost their way, hurt someone they loved, or doubted if they’d ever get another chance. It’s a reckoning, an act of acceptance, and a thank-you to the unseen forces that guided him back.

In celebration of the album’s release, Kentucky will be embarking on an experience this upcoming July that promises to be as unique as it will be entertaining: a House Boat Tour along the Rideau Canal. By bringing his fans with him across Canada, in a way that reflects the personal, heartfelt nature of the record itself, in a setting that’s both shifting and intimate, Kentucky is doubling down on the artistry and experience of his debut album. Fans are urged to stay on watch as full dates and details are to be announced soon.

Fans can also explore Kentucky’s brand-new limited merch line, now live at V13 Store, featuring exclusive designs inspired by the songs and stories of Second Chance Music. Each item is part of a one-time run and directly supports the next chapter of Kentucky’s journey, making it more than just merch, it’s a way to be part of the story.

This is more than a debut, it’s a resurrection. And for Kentucky, and maybe for you too, this really might be the first day of the rest of your life.
